Chrysler Sebring convertible windows malfunctioning and making a whining noise on Chrysler Sebring

Some Chrysler Sebring convertible owners report experiencing issues with their windows malfunctioning and producing a whining noise. These problems may stem from worn window seals or noises from under the car, such as worn brake pads, or under the hood, including a slipped belt or a damaged hose. When windows fail to operate, common culprits include faults in the electrical system, such as a blown fuse or relay, a broken window motor, or a malfunctioning window regulator. Additionally, some owners note that a whining noise from the stereo system may indicate an "alternator whine" condition, particularly noticeable on the A.M. band, resulting from voltage drops between the radio and the alternator. Problems with the window guide, switch, or motor can also contribute to the malfunction. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to inspect the relevant components and electrical systems thoroughly.
